Hi everyone!

I’m starting to use this now Tom, very nice work.

Did you manage to find a way for the lines to appear more consistently above the terrain?

Do you have any more examples of drawing implementations?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

We don’t have any significant updates at the moment, although we did add a polyline material to render on depth test fail:  
[https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/5160](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/5160)

Setting depthFailMaterial to the same as default material may help, you, although I didn’t notice much of a difference when I tried it.

Best,

- Rachel
